Thanks for pointing this out, but I'm afraid you're missing the point: the tricky part is to pass Turing test in a sense that your interlocutor should think he or was talking to a human. If you can say for sure that you were taking to a bot, that's not what we or Google did.
That's probably relevant for your use case, but it's not really obvious that it is necessary for Google's demoed use case. As the article mentioned 90%+ of pizza shops were willing to take orders from their system, which is basically the main metric that matters for the calling on behalf of paying customers use case.
No argument that what you & Google have done is more challenging.
I am curious whether the media backlash against Google Duplex "tricking people" will impact your business. Whether this is a thing that real people will care about, or whether this is the media blowing things out of proportion.
In any case, I do find it more of a "Fun Fact" than anything really meaningful :)

I think it won't impact us. Currenty we are making ~10,000 phone calls per month and we have zero complaints regarding "tricking people". I won't call it tricking at all. It's just a new form of human-computer interaction we all dreamed of. We propose some set of rules guided by Azimov's three laws of robotics. For instance, an AI shouldn't warn you upfront it's an AI, but if you ask "are you an AI", it must tell you so, not trying to trick you, etc. This is how we train our Dasha.AI. We already have a lot of experience in the field. Since launch 6 months ago, Dasha.AI talked at least to 50,000 people. We have enormous dataset of human reactions. Anyone interested in helping us in accelerating world's transition to robot workers and, eventually, to the general AI, are welcome!
Hi Vlad Chernyshov, CTO of Dasha.AI here. Just wanted to show you Dasha.AI, an AI for Accomplishing Real-World Business Tasks Over the Phone. We built it with the team of 3 in 6 months. It's like Google Duplex, but for Businesses. Now you can automate virtually any process in your business starting $0.1 per conversation. Currently we support English and Russian. Anyone interested in getting in touch, drop me a line at [email protected].
I hope you'll enjoy the demo calls: https://dasha.ai/en/!
P.S. Don't be afraid of giants. We have smart people, but they are not smarter than you.

Everything in English but demos. Seems like you need a Dasha AI to help you create English demos.
Thanks for pointing this out! We're a small team , and we have only a real customers demo. We can't waste time creating some imaginery use case. If you're a customer or know somebody who is , let us know.
Got demos in English?
We can do a demo in English if there is a potential customer (for free, we need something to show off as a use case). If you're interested, drop me a line at [email protected].
Please add English to the demo :)
I speak Russian and listened to the demos. IMO this AI is trained to be shockingly offensive (especially 2nd call). I feel compassion for the girl answering, she is scared AF. Voice, intonation, and attitude sound like from a debt collector.
P.S. Congrats to the team! This is amazing, just make it more friendly! ;)

Hi Vlad! Thanks. This is for the first time I hear such an opinion :)
wow that intro video - fire all human beings and hire us, we'll train robots for you!
We just want to accelerate world's transition to robot workers.
Hi! Is there any technological limit that prevents you to expand it to other languages? I would be particularly interested in Italian and French.
Hi, nothing prevents it. We are releasing a tool for building your own AI for your own business processes later this year that will support your languages. Use a form on the website to be notified when we launch it or drop me a line at [email protected]
Can't find the form on the website. I've just sent you an email.
Hello! We have received your email. Will reply shortly. There is a button "Request a demo" on the website :)
From what I could tell, they shut it down because they couldn't figure out a way to monetize it.
